Oh I've seen how you roll, lol, but yeah I posted the link with the smaller ones on there, seems very smooth and well built and if they are as good as the old BG's they should be Dandy's, and FYI they run big for the numbers, the 4000 is more a like a 5000 sizeBruce a 4000 isn't a trout reel, 1500-3500 reels are trout reels. I see they do have smaller reels. Might be worth a look. I'm currently using the Akios 3500 Targa and it's holding up good. I keep 4 different rods rigged with different size jigs and mirro lures ready.
